This game is doing what I feel Mass Effect tried and failed at, giving me characters that I really feel connected with, either with hate or love, while providing me both small and large choices that range from easy to difficult, all in a short time period so there's a "panic" and real sensation of "damn I hope this works out".

I thought Episode 2 is the best game I've played all year, and that's including Diablo 3/Mass Effect 3. I realize that sounds crazy, and I love Diablo, but this simple, short, cheap game has my attention more than anything else at the moment, and I'm honestly looking forward to episode 3 more than I am Dishonored or Darksiders 2.

Certainly my favourite game in a long time as well. I can't even remember the last time I've been so emotionally connected to characters in a video game.

Telltale did a great job with the gore as well, it shows the reality of how twisted the world would actually be had there ever been a zombie outbreak.

It's not gory to be gory, like 80% of the episodes are calm, relaxed, but when you need to chop someone's leg off to save them, that's brutal, and because the gore is so limited/not a major factor of the game, it makes me cringe more than most if not all other games.

Another thing I really like is the relationship between Lee/Clem. I really thought I wouldn't care about her too much, but like I specifically didn't kill the two brothers cause I didn't want to upset her - that right there is great characters/game design.

What happens to the first messed up brother you have to decide about if you don't kill him? I know the 2nd one gets eaten if you don't but I pitchforked the first guy who just shot me in the face before the scene rebooted and thought he kinda had it coming.

Damn, I wish I would have pitchforked his face too, I kinda screwed up and clicked the hay. Either way, he died so whatever. I shot the second bastard though.
